PreS-Gr 2–A little white boy and his abuelo bond as the grandfather recounts heartrending stories. From growing up on a farm to fighting in the war, Abuelo’s brave journey through life is sweetly depicted through Chazerand’s lovely text and Duffaut’s delicate illustrations. As the story develops, the kid embarks on a mission to teach Abuelo how to read and write by the use of elegant-looking consonants and vowels. This inspirational, empowering book will embolden emerging readers. Warmth and affection exude from every page.
VERDICT An intergenerational tale to cherish for most Spanish-language shelves.
